BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention generally relates to hair extension and attachmentapparati and related methods of manufacture. More specifically, thepresent invention provides for a hair extension apparatus comprises: atleast one comb; at least one bendable member having opposing ends, afirst end being attached to the comb; and at least one length of hairattached to the second end of the bendable member wherein the end userforms a ponytail and the comb is attached onto the end user's existinghair adjacent to the ponytail and the bendable member is bent around theponytail and shaped to provide for a plurality of hairstyles.

2. Description of the Related Art

Hairpieces and hair extensions are well known in the beauty industry.Hair pieces are commonly used by individuals with thin hair to provide afuller and, often, a more appealing look. Hair extensions are also oftenused to provide a fuller looking heads of hair. However, hair extensionsare also used cosmetically to allow the user to change their hair stylequickly and without having to wait for their natural hair to grow to therequired length in order to obtain the desired style.

Known forms of hair extensions include hair attached to clips, combs andelastic bands. These hair extensions may be arranged in and around thenatural hair. However, many of these devices require a great deal ofskill to properly arrange on the head in an unobtrusive manner. Inaddition, some devices are hard to keep secured on the head during timesof physical exertion such as, for example, during exercise routines,running and dancing the jitterbug. Furthermore, other hair extensionsare not diverse in that they are limited in terms of the hairstyles thatthey provide.

One example of a known hair extension device, often referred to as ascrunchy, attaches hair to an elastic band. The band is then woundaround a ponytail formed on the users head from the natural hair. Theelastic of the scrunchy acts like a rubber band and secures the user'sponytail. The hair attached to the elastic may then be left to hangloose or gathered to form a bun or a ponytail. The scrunchy device,though, tends to slip during physical activity causing the users hair tobecome tangled. In addition, the elastic tends to lose its elasticityover time, making the device ineffective for its intended use.

It would be desirable, therefore, to provide a hair extension devicethat overcomes these and other disadvantages. It would also be desirableto have a hair extension device that would provide for a plurality ofdifferent hairstyles.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosedherein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodimentsare merely exemplary of the invention that may be embodied in variousforms. The figures are not necessary to scale, some features may beexaggerated to show details of particular components. Therefore,specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not tobe interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and asa representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art to variouslyemploy the present invention.

Referring now to FIGS. 1 and 2, one embodiment of a hair extensiondevice in accordance with the present is shown generally at 100. Hairextension 100 includes a hair assembly 10 and a comb 30. Hair assembly10 includes bendable member 12 and hair 20. In one embodiment, hair 20is synthetic hair. In another embodiment, hair 20 is real hair. Hair 20may be dyed various colors to approximate natural hair colors or,alternatively, may be dyed bright unnatural colors that are well knownin the art. Hair 20 is attached to bendable member 12 by an exemplarymethod described below.

In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1, bendable member 12 is dividedinto three portions, hair attachment portions 26, 28 and comb attachmentportion 18. Comb attachment portion 18 is positioned between hairattachment portions 26 and 28. Hair attachment portions 26, 28 may be ofvarious lengths, the length depending on the style of hair extensiondesired. In one embodiment, bendable member 12 is a formable metal wire.In another embodiment, bendable member 12 may be, for example, formableplastic. In another embodiment, bendable member 12 may comprise aformable metal wire having a coating. The coating may be, for example, aplastic or a rubber coating.

The embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 shows a bendable member 12 havingan end 16 that is blunt. In one embodiment illustrated in FIG. 4, theblunt end is fashioned in a hook-like manner 38. Those skilled in theart will recognize other configurations to provide a blunt end forbendable member 12. For example, the end may be capped using a smallplastic cap that is inconspicuous to the user.

Comb 30 includes body portion 32 and a plurality of teeth 34 extendingfrom the body portion 32 in a manner that is well known in the art. Thecomb 30 may be formed from plastic, metal, bone, shell or any othersuitable material known in the art.

Hair extension device 100 may be fashioned in the following manner.First, strands of hair 20 are sewn together, in a manner that is wellknown in the art, to form a length of hair 40. In one embodiment, thehair is curled once it is formed into the length of hair. Those skilledin the art will recognize that various types of hair may be used to formthe length of hair. For example, the hair may be straight, curly, orwavy. The hair may also be of various lengths depending on the desiredstyle.

Second, one end of the length of hair 40 is securely attached to end 16a of bendable member 12. The hair 40 may be secured to end 16 a by anymeans known in the art, such as, for example, glue. Once the end of hair40 is attached, the length of hair is wrapped around the first hairattachment portion 26 of bendable member 12. The length of hair 40 iswrapped around bendable member 12 until it reaches comb attachmentportion 18 of bendable member 12. Comb attachment portion 18 of bendablemember 12 is not covered by hair 40. This process is repeated for thesecond hair attachment portion 28 beginning at end 16 b. Those skilledin the art will recognize that there are other methods known in the artsuitable for attaching the hair to device 100.

Once both of the hair attachment portions 26, 28 are covered with hair40, comb attachment portion 18 of bendable member 12 is bent to form twospaced apart angles 22, 24. Comb 30 is then disposed on comb attachmentportion 18 of bendable member 12. The comb 30 may then be secured to thebendable member 12. FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate that the comb 30 is securedto bendable member 12 using thread 36. Those skilled in the art willrecognize that there are other methods of securing the comb 30 to thebendable member 12 such as, for example, by gluing or thin gauge wire.

Those skilled in the art will recognize that hair extension device 100may be fashioned in other manners. For example, the comb attachmentportion of bendable member 12 may be an integral part of the comb asillustrated in FIG. 3. Other embodiments may attach the bendable memberto a barrette-type device instead of a comb.

In practice and referring now to FIGS. 5 a-c, the user of the hairextension device may, first, form their natural hair into a ponytail201. In FIG. 5 a, the user then secures the hair extension device 200 onthe head by inserting the comb 205 of the hair extension device 200 intothe hair adjacent to the ponytail 201. Once secured and as shown in FIG.5 b, the user then bends and forms one of the two bendable members 208of the hair extension device 200 in and around the ponytail 201. In FIG.5 c, the second bendable member 208 of the hair extension device 200 isthen bent and formed in and around the ponytail 201. Finally, thebendable members 208 and the hair 210 of the hair extension device 200may then be styled and shaped according to the desired hairstyle of theuser.

In another embodiment, the present invention may use another hairattaching means instead of a comb such as a clips, hooks, snap-onelements, barrettes, pins, etc. In such an embodiment, at least aportion of the bendable member will then be attached and secured to thehair attaching means. In another embodiment, the bendable member willhave two opposing ends and a central section, and the hair is attachedto the opposing ends of the bendable member and at least a portion ofthe central section is attached to the hair attaching means. In stillanother embodiment, the hair extension device comprises two ends and aconnector, whereby the hair is attached to the two ends and a portion ofthe two ends are attached to the connector and at least a portion of theconnector is attached to the hair attaching means.
